Oregon High School Football Top 25 State Rankings (Nov. 2, 2026)

The regular season is over, and the playoffs are upon us.

This week’s Oregon High School Football Top 25 State Rankings reflects the results of several rivalry games throughout the state and other matchups that decided conference titles.

Sheldon shot up seven spots to No. 14, just ahead of Willamette, which fell to No. 15 after the Irish converted on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line with just over a minute left to pull out a 30-27 victory that lifted the Irish to a share of the Southwest Conference title.

Meanwhile, Ida B. Wells and Wilsonville rolled to victories that not only clinched outright league titles for them but also knocked the losers — Lincoln and Aloha — out of the rankings. Also falling out is Lakeridge after the Pacers lost their fourth game of the season, this one to top-ranked Lake Oswego in the Battle of the Lake rivalry.

Taking their place are Henley, Sandy and Estacada heading into the postseason.

Here are this week’s Oregon Top 25 Football State Rankings.
